Answer:
Right to Equality (articles 14,15,16 and 17 )
Equality is one of the pillars of democracy. One cannot enjoy other rights unless they are supplemented by the Right to Equality.
1. Equality before law:
equality before law ensures that all people irrespective of their caste, gender, religion, economic status are equal before law and must get equal protection of law. however, the state can make laws for the development of backward sections of the society .
2. Prohibition of discrimination:
the state shall not discriminate against a citizen on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, gender, place of birth etc. no individual can be denied access to public places such as hospitals, theaters, wells, rivers, roads and such public property.
3. Equal Opportunity:
No discrimination can be made in case of public employment. there are expectations to this right since a policy like reservation in employment is not seen as a violation of right to equality.
4. Abolition of untouchability :
Untouchability is abolished by law. Parliament enacted the citizen's right protection act 1955 whereby, untouchability was made a criminal offence.
Right to Education [art 30]
A parent or guardian should provide opportunities for education to his child, between the age of 6 to 14 years. this has been added by (86th) constitutional Amendment .
